Voters in Delaware elected the country’s first out transgender member of Congress on Tuesday, with NBC News projecting a win for state Sen. Sarah McBride in the race for the state’s only House seat. At the same time, voters across the United States chose to send Donald Trump back to the White House, NBC News projected, electing a presidential ticket that many advocates warned would be the worst in American history for trans people.
” The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment regarding some advocates’ concerns that a second Trump term would be dangerous for transgender Americans. McBride will enter Congress on the heels of an election year in which Republicans, including Trump, spent more than $200 million on network television ads targeting trans people, according to data shared with NBC News on Tuesday by AdImpact, an analytics firm that tracks political ad spending.
